Will Grannis developed and refined advanced survey and building navigation features for the rokwire/illinois-app repository, focusing on user experience, accessibility, and robust data handling. He engineered end-to-end survey flows with dynamic rule evaluation, integrated analytics, and persistent data models using Dart and Flutter, while also enhancing UI/UX through localization and accessibility improvements. His work included SVG-based floor plan viewers, multi-floor navigation, and semantic labeling for accessible controls. By implementing centralized data fetching, modular plugin integration, and thorough code cleanup, Will ensured maintainable, scalable solutions that improved data quality, compliance, and usability across both mobile and web-facing components.
Month: 2025-12 | Repository: rokwire/illinois-app Key features delivered: - GBV Accessibility Improvements (Quick Exit, Panels, Widgets): added semantic labels and accessible controls; refactors aimed at preserving behavior while improving accessibility. - Resource Directory Accessibility and UX Improvements: semantic labels for external link icons; readability and structure refactors. - Building Model ShortName Field: added shortName field to Building model for concise identifiers and improved display/retrieval. Major bugs fixed: - Accessibility regressions addressed across GBV components; ensured correct semantics and labeling; formatting regressions resolved with careful refactors to preserve behavior. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved accessibility and usability across core GBV and Resource Directory features, expanding reach and compliance; cleaner, more maintainable codebase; data display improvements via shortName field. - Strengthened developer experience through consistent formatting and semantics, reducing future maintenance risk. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Accessibility engineering (semantic labels, ARIA-friendly controls) - Frontend UI/UX refactoring with behavior preservation - Data modeling enhancements (Building.shortName) - Commit hygiene and incremental, well-documented changes

September 2025 focused on delivering a robust, end-to-end survey experience within rokwire/illinois-app, stabilizing navigation, and laying groundwork for durable data persistence. Key features include a unified survey UI integrated with the Rokwire plugin model/service/widget, and a refactored flow using a single question builder with per-panel navigation and an evaluation pathway. Groundwork was laid for database-backed evaluation persistence via a revised data model, with ongoing debugging work. Additional improvements included icon/resource asset integration, reliable back-button behavior, and enhanced resource loading. These efforts drive business value through improved user experience, reliable data capture for evaluations, and a cleaner, more maintainable codebase with analytics and localization support.
